I hate having to add braces to add a printf when debuging something.
If you forget the braces, you change the meaning of the code. To me
that's a disaster and enough reason that leaving out braces should
be banned. Code style that encourages creation of bugs is bad style.
Surprisingly many code styles don't get this however.
I also like consistency, and since you need braces for multiline
statements, why not always use them?
